Pre-race routine:

Did some light jogging (~5mins as I didnt want to irritate my injured hip muscles). Got into the water and did a good amount of swimming.
Swim
  • 14m 17s
  • 750 meters
  • 01m 54s / 100 meters
Comments:

I got a foot spasm in the first 3 minutes as one girl felt the need to keep trying to swim on top of me even though everyone was spread out my this time. I just ignored it and kept swimming but I couldnt kick properly.
What would you do differently?:

Not really sure what I could have done differently.
Transition 1
  • 00m
Comments:

T1 time is with the bike. My T1 was slow compared to usual as I needed to fix my hair...

When I was mounting my bike someone commented 'Nice mounting'. That made me happy!
Bike

  • 28.30 km/hr
Comments:

I felt very strong on this ride, especially on the flats. I struggled on the first uphill but was able to push hard for the second uphill (stood for a portion of it).
What would you do differently?:

Nothing really, maybe train hills a bit more and just ride more in general.
Transition 2
  • 00m
Comments:

I was pretty fast in this transition
Run
  • 30m 35s
  • 5.7 kms
  • 05m 22s  min/km
Comments:

I was hurting during the run due to my lack of running, but I pushed through it. Caught up to a girl with around 1.5km to go and we pushed hard together for the last bit. Now that I realize the course was actually 5.7k, my run was actually ok. Not as good as I would have liked, but acceptable.
What would you do differently?:

Run more
